This afternoon, they did so by signing former Rutgers standout Ryan D'Imperio to a one-year deal.

Kicker Dave Buehler, the second kicker on the roster behind Josh Brown, was waived to make room.

D'Imperio was a linebacker at Rutgers and was drafted by the Vikings as one before getting switched to the other side of the ball. He saw some time on the active roster back in 2011 before getting cut.

A brief stint with the Chiefs followed.

D'Imperio can provide some depth and competition at the spot until the Giants see where Henry Hynoski is at in his recovery. As we wrote a few weeks back, Hynoski is doing well in his rehab and is pushing to return Week 1.
